Golden Tara of Agusan
The Golden Tara of Agusan is a gold statuette of a seated female deity found in 1917 on the bank of the Wawa river in Agusan, Mindanao, in the southern Philippines. Probably made between the 9th and 13th centuries, it is variously identified as a Hindu or Buddhist goddess and is evidence of Indic religious influence in the region of the Butuan kingdom. It is held by the Field Museum in Chicago.
